Releases in October: OKX Shield, OKX Money, 4 Years of Proof of Reserves

October was OKX's most eventful month on record. A joint venture with the Intercontinental Exchange was announced. A standalone savings and payments app called OKX Money launched. Onchain Perps and Spot went live on Exchange OS. And for the 48th consecutive month, OKX published its Proof of Reserves.

Here is everything that shipped in October. Not all products are available in all regions.

We showcased what’s possible and what’s coming next across trading, onchain, AI and money — all pointing toward a financial system that is always on and works for you. We also announced OKXICE, a joint venture with ICE, owner of the New York Stock Exchange, to build 24/7 markets for tokenized securities.

Revealed at OKX Now on October 6 and launched the following week, Onchain Perps and Spot are now live in the OKX app.

Onchain Perps and Spot bring trading to an onchain infrastructure — perpetual futures and spot markets that settle on-chain, accessible through a single unified Onchain Account. Open orders, positions, and trading history all live in one place, and Outcomes is accessible through the same account. Where OKX's existing perps run in a centralised order book, the onchain versions are transparent and verifiable at the settlement layer.

Available now in eligible markets.

Alongside the OKX Now announcements, OKX launched OKX Money, a standalone savings and spending app built for non-crypto natives.

OKX Money helps users save in USD at 10% APY, spend anywhere with zero FX fees, and earn 10% cashback on purchases. No order book, no crypto onboarding required. For the hundreds of millions of people in dollar-adjacent economies who have never used a centralised exchange, it is designed as a direct first point of entry.

October's trading additions extended the TradFi suite in two directions: passive yield on stock holdings, and the ability to follow the strategies of the platform's best equity traders.

Tokenized stock holders can now earn yield on their positions. Hold to Earn on Stocks brings the same passive yield mechanic that exists for crypto to OKX's unified tokenized stock suite, the xxTSLA, xAAPL, xNVDA, and other tokenized stocks, now generating yield while held in your account. A long-term hold becomes a position that earns on both the price side and the yield side simultaneously.

Copy Trading has expanded to TradFi. Users can now follow and automatically mirror the positions of top-performing equity traders on OKX, the same social trading mechanic that already exists for crypto, applied to stock perpetuals and tokenized stocks. For anyone who wants equity market exposure without managing individual positions, this is a passive on-ramp into an active strategy.

Outcomes Season 3 launched in October, opening a new set of event-based markets. The season includes prediction markets for Q3 earnings from major tech companies, including Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon.

October was one of the busiest listing months in OKX's history. More than 50 unified tokenized stock spot pairs went live, alongside more than 25 equity X-Perps and five new TradFi perpetual futures contracts.

The week 2 batch alone added 43 unified tokenized stock spot pairs, covering names across tech, semiconductors, and financial services. Among the additions: xMARA (Marathon Digital Holdings), xACN (Accenture), xWDC (Western Digital), and more. On the perps side, Bank of America — the second-largest US bank — joined the TradFi perps roster on October 27, alongside Constellation Energy, Interactive Brokers, and Monolithic Power Systems. ASML Holding was listed as an equity X-Perp the same day.

October marks OKX's 48th consecutive monthly Proof of Reserves publication, four straight years without a single missed month. Every user's assets verified 1:1, every month, publicly on-chain.
